Po' Girl....

Howdy people!
I don't know if any one here has come across this amazing band! http://www.pogirl.net/
I came across them when I got a voucher for amazon for my birthday last year, i was looking to see if 'the be good tanyas' had got a new album out (which they didn't) and amazon recommended Po' Girl to me. There were no mp3 samples or anything but i just went for it and bought "Vagabond Lullabies" (their second album). When it came I was amazed! it is sort of a mixture of folk, bluegrass, country and with some 'beat boxing'. I haven't been able to stop listening to it for the past year. I bought their first album a couple of weeks ago it is equally as great but is a bit more jazzy.
So, If any one has a tener free, or fancies something different and that they wont be able to turn off! check them out!

I see that Trish Klein of the Be Good Tanyas is also a member of the Po' Girls - No wonder the Po' Girls' CDs are so good!

You're going to cost me money telling me about this Olly.

It's Trish's sideline when the Tanyas are resting...

They are from this neck of the woods - we saw them supporting David Byrne a few years back.  Very good indeed.

They have a website at www.pogirl.net

See they were in the UK recently...
